What is recorded here

Charlestown or Bannfoot in Derryinver, County Armagh, is a post-medieval settlement where human life once clustered around the land. The name Bannfoot suggests the place stood near the edge of the River Bann, likely used for water, trade or passage. Charlestown hints that a person named Charles may have lived there, owned land or given the settlement its identity. What is certain is that people settled this ground after the medieval period and shaped it into a local centre worth recording.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Historic Settlement Charlestown or Bannfoot. Recorded period: POST-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
